Wiki on NHL:"The least-used number is 69, worn for two games in 2003-04 by Mel Angelstad of the Washington Capitals."

Post at realgm.com board:"69 is one of 20 uniform numbers that have never been worn in the NBA/ABA."(Refs signal fouls by holding up fingers indicating the player's uniform number so numbers 1-5 are most always used. .. Though I suppose a ref could use two hands for a #6, then two hands again for #9.)

Reddick had 46 last year, so he must have a new number. I can't wait to get to the Fort myself and pick up this year's roster sheet. I save them every year. One of these days I'm going to scan them in and post them, just because I find that stuff fascinating.

Redsox.com has numbers listed for everyone on the 40-man, including Reddick back at 68 which is what he had in ST last year. They also have Lars Anderson as the 78 he had in ST as opposed to the 44 he wore in the bigs. I've gotta get down there and get this sorted out! :)

Actually, Allan, 21 has been offered to players by the Red Sox since the Texas Con Man left, and I remember Jonathan Papelbon turned down the offer, he said in an interview a few years back. I think many players still respect Clemens to the point they don't want to wear the number. They should give it to some rookie infielder or pitcher.
